Fun Orienteering at Waikanae Park    By Hannah    27,6,13

On a sunny but a bit chilly Tuesday morning on the 25th of June 134 year 5 and 6’s from waikanae school went orienteering for a hour at Waikanae Park.

They arrived by bus and were told what to do, they got into pairs and they got their starting times and off they went.

All 134 kids went round the park with a map in each hand stopping at  the clippers to clip their sheet. They went up steep hills and muddy ditches to find the clippers. The clippers had different patterns on them so people could tell if someone was cheating. “ I think the day was fun and exciting” said Madeline Young, a year 5 from waikanae school.

The teachers at waikanae school thought that going orienteering would be fun and exciting for the kids as well as learning how to work with others.

Orienteering By Aidan C

On Wednesday many year 5 and 6's from Waikanae school and Kapunui school went to Waikanae park to participate in orienteering. Aidan C and Dylan B are from Waikanae school. They are best Friends and have known each other since they were 3. They were buddy's for the orienteering. When the people were explaining Dylan and Aidan were at the back. So they didn't hear much. In fact they found out what to do when they found a group of people. It was  to find  all of the 19 clippers (clippers are basically thing that poke 9 holes in  paper). But they didn't bother use  the map provided. They just randomly rand around dodging the horse poo (Aidan once stepped in some. YUCK!) and clipping the paper. They once got split up twice! But luckily they found each other. One time Dylan found another clip. in the end Aidan found 17 clips and Dylan found 18.

The cockatiel is also known is quarrion and the weiro it is a member of the cockatoo family endemic to Australia. They are prized as a household pet and companion parrot throughout the world and are relatively easy to breed. 

                      Feeding

Seeds are a good diet for a cockatiel

Pellets can be a great diet for cockatiels.

                            Eggs

If you see a egg at the bottom of your cockatiels cage than its bond to be a baby cockatiel egg! Lots of cockatiel are white but  some can be other colours like grey.

                           Babies

Baby cockatiels are ugly at first but the grow up to but they grow up to lovely birds. Baby cockatiels are born with no feathers

Matariki

This is a report about The Maori New Year.

                 Matariki

Matariki is the Maori new year. There are seven stars which represent the seven sisters.

the seven sisters are

1. Waiti
2. Waita
3. Tupu-a-nuku
4. Tupu-a-rangi
5. Waipuna-a-rangi
6. Ururangi
7. Matariki

Matariki can mean ‘small eyes’ or ‘eyes of god’.

But some Maori tribes didn’t believe it was Matariki. They believed it was a star called puanga (which is Rigel in Orion). Another word for the group of seven stars is The Pleiades.

I think that Matariki is a wonderful Celebration for Kiwis.
